AMERICAN LEGION CHILDREN'S HOME

Need to Know

SUMMER, 2010 Issue #73
ALCH's New Logo
Federal Rule Update...(cont.)
     The most alarming thing that was said at this meeting was after Senator Myers declared, “If you try to close down this Children’s Home the American Legion is going to be very upset and they are going make a lot of noise.” Director Hendrick then replied very loudly, “WHO CARES! WHO CARES!”

     Sadly, I’m afraid he was telling the truth and really doesn’t care – not about the American Legion and all we hold dear including our one and only children’s home.

Many of you have been asking how you can help. NOW is the time to act. Therefore, please CALL your U.S. State Senators and Representatives (if you need their numbers please call us at #866-941-0110) and tell them:

    1. You want them to help save the only American Legion Children’s Home in the United States.
    2. Tell them to call the Children’s Home at #866-941-0110 if they have any questions.
As always, we thank you for anything that you can do to help us. We know that we cannot win this battle alone.
